Sometimes humor is far more fun than REALLY working out. It’s been a really heavy week, so instead of a traditional Fitness Friday, we’re going with a Fitness Funnies Friday. May you laugh loudly.Fitness tips you won’t hear anywhere else (because they are so outstanding, not because they are delusional): ONE When you are working […]

It’s summertime, which means we’re traveling… right? I love this road trip play list put together by Mandy! Enjoy! Not too long ago I had the pleasure of taking my two daughters (3 and 5) on a small road trip. The trip was about an hour long, so very small by most standards. We went […]

I haven’t lost a lot of people in my life. To be clear in this case I mean I haven’t lost a lot of people to death. Now that I think about it, I also haven’t lost a lot of people wandering into the woods away from me. Two times blessed I call that. I […]

OK, so sibling day was yesterday, but we don’t usually post on Sundays, so… you get your dose of sibling day magic today! 🙂 I worry occasionally when I look at my youngest daughter that there was some kind of mix-up. Like I know that she belongs in our family, but I wonder if she […]

Spring is a time for renewal, but you know what people don’t talk about- before you are renewed you have to go through death. Or wait they do talk about that? It’s the whole Easter/Jesus thing? Ok, that’s well and good. I want to talk about me though. This daylight savings time is going […]

I have gathered undeniable proof that my parents love my kids more than they loved me. I’m okay with it, no really I am. The only reason I even bring it up is to let them know “Hey, let’s try to keep things in perspective.” They have a hard time with perspective when it comes […]

The day was a snow day and I spent the earlier part of the day working from home and bribing my children to be good so I could work. I decided the reward would be for us to do some baking together. After all, I wanted to make a couple things ahead in preparation for […]

My connection of butterflies and heaven… A topic that I had hoped to never discuss with my daughter came up this year. We had to talk about death. I had to look my “baby” girl (5) in the eyes as she asked if I would ever die and I had to say “yes.” I had to […]

I may have failed a couple times this week at the art of mothering. Not from lack of trying, but apparently when I thought I was “saving” my child by keeping her home from daycare to help her feel better- I was really condemning her to sub par care given by the one, the only… […]

“Mama. The puppy’s ear won’t go down.” These are the words I hear at 430 am on a Wednesday. Though, really does it matter what day of the week it was? It clearly was not going to be “my morning.” It was one of the mornings that happen quite often where a three year old […]

Parent Evaluation… I think it’s important every now and then to evaluate myself as a parent. One of the ways that I do that is to let the girls pretend to be my mom when we play (sometimes they like for me to take my turn at being the mom too, but I explain we […]
